Thanks for all the praise for chapter 1 of 'Appreciating Mother'.
Chapter 2 is a little shorter, but much of Chapter 1 consisted of scene-setting. I hope you enjoy chapter 2. As always, please feel free to comment honestly.
There will be further chapters. I am starting work on the 3rd part as soon as this is uploaded.
-----------------------------------------------
I knelt beside my mother, my face burning with shame and embarrassment as I buried it in my hands. The forest around us seemed to have fallen silent. It felt as if the whole of creation was focused upon my humiliation.
I had been mere seconds from bliss when my body and my youthful inexperience and lack of control had betrayed me. My beautiful mother had been about to undo her bra. She was going to let me see and touch the wonderful breasts that I had fondled through her underwear but, even before her fingers could release the clasp that nestled between the cups, excitement had overwhelmed me and I had come in my shorts.
I heard her move and felt her arms around me. She kissed my head as I kept my face covered.
"Don't worry, baby," she said, hugging me. "It's no big deal. To be honest I was half expecting it to happen sooner." She gently, but insistently, pulled my hands from my face. "It is what young men do," she said, kissing my cheek. "Excitement and hormones are a hard combination to control. Your dad had his moments of... impatience when we were young." She chuckled, but I knew she wasn't laughing at me. "In fact, when we were teenagers he had plenty of impatient moments. Goodness knows what your granny thought when she did his laundry."
"Oh god, Mum...." I groaned and leant my forehead on her shoulder. "So close! Another couple of seconds and..." I lifted my head and looked down. Her blouse still hung open. I could see her magnificent bosom straining at the pretty pink lace of her bra.
Mum smiled and kissed me. She sat back on her heels. "They're not going anywhere, darling." She put her hands under her breasts and bounced them up and down. My jaw dropped open, and despite my premature orgasm of a minute before I felt my cock twitch. Mum stood up and reached out a hand. "Let's pack this stuff up and get you home. Get yourself showered and freshened up, then you'll feel better. After that, if you're a good boy, I'll see if I can find a way to make up for your disappointment."
My heart leapt with hope. Ignoring the stickiness in my pants I jumped to my feet and began to gather away the picnic stuff while my mother watched with an expression of fond amusement.

When we got home I showered and changed into a clean t-shirt and shorts. I was still embarrassed about spurting off in my pants, but I wasn't about to let that destroy my surreal and wonderful weekend. I found my mother on the sofa in the sitting room. A bottle of white wine and two glasses stood on the coffee table in front of her. I was pleased to see that she hadn't changed her outfit. She still wore the thin, white cotton blouse and loose, long black cotton skirt. There was nothing at all overtly sexy or even glamorous about the outfit, but somehow it was just right. Kind of demurely pretty, but at the same time it didn't really conceal the glorious curves of the full, mature figure beneath. Mum smiled as I sat beside her.
"Open the bottle for me, please?" she passed me a corkscrew.
I poured the wine and we sat back. Mum snuggled under my arm with her head on my chest. We sipped our drinks. The wine was nice and dry, and ice cold. I drank half of my glass and leant forward to put my glass on the table. Mum did the same.
"Feeling better now?" she asked.
"Much. Still feel like a stupid teenager though."
Mum reached up and hooked a hand around the back of my neck. She pulled me down and we kissed. Mum sighed into my mouth and worked her tongue against mine. We broke for air after five minutes or so and grinned at each other.
"Wow," I said reaching for my glass.
"Definitely." As mum sat back with her drink she took my hand. "But Andrew... We have to talk."
My heart sank. Talking wasn't what I'd been hoping for. "Ok."
"You're a young man..." She squeezed my hand. "...And like all young men your hormones run pretty hot, as we've seen." I blushed at that but Mum continued. "In the last few hours our relationship has had a few shocks and some things have changed. Earlier today I let things go much further than I should have. It was getting pretty serious. You realise that, surely?"
I nodded.
"Andrew, my mind is spinning. I fear for the consequences of how we've become. I fear that I'm leading you on and that all this will mess up your head and your life."
"Mum, I'm young but I know my mind. I'm in love with you and that's never going to change. I don't see that there have to be bad consequences. We can love each other without hurting anyone else - without anyone else knowing. I'm certainly not going to tell anyone and risk what I have with you... What I hope I have with you, I mean."
Mum drained her glass and put it on the table. "I meant what I said earlier. I am in love with you too." She took my face in her hands. I put down my glass. "But I had to tell you what scares me. I have to give you the chance to go back to a normal life with a loving - but normal - mother rather than a mad woman who should know better.
She hesitated for some time then, "If we don't stop this now... Andrew, I won't be able to stop."
"I don't want to stop, Mum. I don't want you to stop. Whatever happens I'm going to love you, but I'm going to be careful that nothing happens to spoil it. If we have to have a secret life then that's what I want. I just want to be with you. and to be honest about how I feel about you. I couldn't live pretending things were different. It would break my heart every time I looked at you. Mum, I..." I ran out of words so I kissed her.
It was a kiss that sealed our fate, whatever that would be. In its desperation I could feel that neither of us would be able to back out. There could be no more debate or soul searching. With that kiss we committed to our love and to our passion. We almost devoured each other and when our lips parted both our faces were wet from a mixture of saliva and my mother's tears. We kissed and cuddled for a while and each of us must have said 'I love you' fifty times. Eventually pounding hearts began to calm. We had accepted what neither of us could fight and that removed a weight from my soul that I hadn't even known was pressing down upon me. I think Mum felt the same.
Between us we finished the wine.
"Mum?"
"Yes, darling?"
"Would you sit on my lap? I love it when you sit there and kiss me."
She didn't waste any time. Seconds after I spoke my mum plonked her bottom down on my lap and wrapped her arms around my neck. "Ok then, lover boy... Kiss me." And kiss her I did.
"I think this is my favourite way to sit," I smiled.
"Nothing to do with the fact that it brings my boobs closer, I suppose," she giggled.
I hadn't been thinking of that particular aspect. I was still in a bit of an emotional daze, but... "Now you come to mention it, hell yes." I gazed at the bulging front of her blouse. "Oh Jesus, mum."
"I'm sorry your fun got spoiled earlier," she said, kissing my cheek and then my mouth. "This time, just relax." She leaned back against the arm of the sofa and thrust her breasts out. "Help yourself, greedy boy," she smiled and then shut her eyes.
With mum's eyes shut I was able to stare at her boobs unselfconsciously and they were amazing. One of my arms was around the back of Mum's waist as she sat sideways on my lap, but my free hand reached up to squeeze one of her big tits through her blouse.
